I'm adding 700 sf onto my house in the SF Bay Area. I'm expecting it to run about $265 psf for hard costs, $320 psf all in including architecture, engineering, permits and $30 psf of contingency. That total cost includes some remodel of existing kitchen and adding a bathroom in existing basement which technically should not be divided by 700 square foot denominator of the addition, but I do not have a breakout of costs in remodel vs the addition.
In your case a family room should be cheaper if there is no remodel of adjacent rooms, and if you don't touch the plumbing and you have enough electrical capacity and furnce capacity that you won't have to upsize those services you will get away cheaper still.
